If it is, miniskirts came out in the 1960s.<br /><br />I also noticed a ring on the woman in the bottom picture. It&#39;s hard to make out detail, but you might be able to use it to pinpoint who it is.Deehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07157352583782702854noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7466591705634648673.post-59278876287507522462011-10-14T23:54:24.606-04:002011-10-14T23:54:24.606-04:00Jennifer, thanks for the suggestion.

Someone somewhere would likely recognize the make and model. I agree with the rough 40&#39;s estimation, but it would be nice to have some clinical affirmation!Jenniferhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03251821175075255774noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7466591705634648673.post-82181893198111141152011-10-11T13:17:40.552-04:002011-10-11T13:17:40.552-04:00So consensus seems to be the 1940s.

There&#39;s no writing on the negatives, but the type of film (116) was available from the 1890s to the 1980s. <br /><br />If these are from the mid 1940s, that would make the girl on the right of the upper right photo my grandmother. She was born in 1931. With the low quality I&#39;ve had a hard time judging ages. There are more photos in the series and in different photos the same people look different ages.Valerie Crafthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10232674112099044776noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7466591705634648673.post-11469375479202463322011-10-11T13:10:54.879-04:002011-10-11T13:10:54.879-04:00I&#39;d guess 1940s too - but, are there any words...I&#39;d guess 1940s too - but, are there any words at all on the edges of the negatives? Some film was only available during certain times, and that could help narrow it down further.Amanda (the librarian)http://www.blogger.com/profile/09902380558583190500noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7466591705634648673.post-66626583416061048082011-10-11T11:21:38.758-04:002011-10-11T11:21:38.758-04:00I am in no means a professional in this area, but ...I am in no means a professional in this area, but I&#39;d say early 1940&#39;s only because the hair and clothing is similar to that in photos of my own grandmother from the same time.Amy Coffinhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00612044786240692282noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7466591705634648673.post-89207887493811642472011-10-11T08:11:41.935-04:002011-10-11T08:11:41.935-04:00The people in your pictures look slightly younger ...The people in your pictures look slightly younger than some similar photos I&#39;ve seen of my grandparents (born 1918 and 1924) in the 1940s.
